Bandar Abbas Water Desalination Plant Expansion Underway

The second development phase of Bandar Abbas water desalination unit will be completed in September, Bandar Abbas governor in Hormozgan Province said.
"Its capacity will double and reach 40,000 cubic meters a day in the second phase," Azizolah Kenarizadeh was quoted as saying by Tehran-based media group Donya-e-Eqtesad, a sister publication of Financial Tribune.
Supplying electricity to the plant is a major problem and talks are underway with the provincial power company to this end, he added.
The official noted that to tackle water crisis in the deprived region where underground resources are severely depleted, producing water from saline water sources is inevitable.
